An epistaxis clip includes a pair of wings connected to one another by a bridge portion. The pair of wings define a pair of opposing recesses or openings and a pair of absorbent pads are disposed in the respective opposing recesses or openings of the pair of wings. The epistaxis clip is designed to apply predetermined pressure on the Kiesselbach’s plexus. The pair of absorbent pads can include an absorbent foam that resists sticking to the wound and that can be replaceable.

A device and a method for manufacturing said device, the device comprising an applicator member and a flexible retention web (1) intended to be introduced into a vaginal cavity (17), said web being equipped with a means (7) for removal and being made from an a traumatic material whereof the dimensions are adapted so as to be able to retain and/or slow down bodily discharges of small quantity, characterized in that: —the applicator member comprises a body (8) that is at least partially hollow defining an internal storage volume (9), said body having a proximal end (10) on the one hand, and on the other hand, a distal end (11) intended to be inserted into the vaginal cavity of a user, said distal end having an open section emerging in the internal volume, —the web comprises a central zone (13) housed in the internal volume, and at least one peripheral zone (14) protruding from the body so as to cover at least the distal end of the body.

A pad body integrally molded from a thermoplastic resin foam material with high compressibility includes a foam absorbent body, an outer film layer formed on an outer portion of the foam absorbent body, and a pull string connected to the outer film layer. A tampon is also disclosed, and includes a tubular sleeve unit and the pad body. The tubular sleeve unit includes an outer tube and a push rod. The foam absorbent body and the outer film layer constitute an absorption section of the pad body. The absorption section is constrained by the outer tube in a compressed state, and is transformed to an expanded state when pushed by the push rod to move out of the receiving hole via the exit opening.

There is provided a tampon pledget that includes one or more enhanced features that result in the pledget exhibiting increased bypass leakage prevention. These enhanced features may include, but are not limited to, geometry, absorption, and any combinations thereof. There is also provided one or more methods for constructing a tampon pledget having increased bypass leakage protection.

A menstrual device having a storage volume. The menstrual device has a frame and a fluid barrier seal layer attached to the exterior surface of the frame. The menstrual device has an expanded configuration that includes an at rest configuration and a deployed configuration. The menstrual device has a compact configuration where the menstrual device is confined to a size, shape and/or geometry smaller than an expanded configuration such that it can be more easily inserted into the body. The menstrual device in a compact configuration is contained within an applicator, where the applicator assists in ejecting the menstrual device into the body.
